    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Premier League rules dictate that any cancelled contest should be worked back into the top-flight diary at the next available midweek slot. Part of the problem there is that Liverpool are facing a stacked schedule. With Carabao Cup and Champions League games to contend with, the Reds may not be free again until mid-February.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    For now, according to the Mirror, that means pencilling in a derby date with Everton for Tuesday February 11 – as talks continue with the Premier League, police forces and television broadcasters. Said date will require a green light from UEFA as it falls on a Champions League matchday – when the knockout phase play-offs take place, which Liverpool appear set to avoid.

    WHAT NEXT?

    European football’s governing body are expected to give the go ahead, meaning that Everton can face old adversaries for the last time at Goodison before they move into a new £800 million ($1 billion) home in 2025-26.
